I'd add Brian Eno's "Reflections" on here, but it's a neverending album, so no real front to back, so it gets an honourary mention. I'd have also added Jean-Michel Jarre's "Waiting for Cousteau", because the titular track is a massive ambient masterpiece, but the Calypso tracks that precede the titular track are pretty blasé.

So, what are your "must listen front to back" albums?

I tried listening to Out There and Back by PVD a few months ago (listened to that album a lot early 2000s) but I found it sounded very dated now.

Here Come The Warm Jets Brian Eno
Berlin Street Hassle Lou Reed
Hunky Dory David Bowie
Funhouse The Stooges
Fire Of Love Gun Club
Roxy Music Roxy Music
The Idiot Iggy Pop
Marquee Moon Television
Pour Down Like Silver Richard and Linda Thompson
Death Letter Son House

The Velvet Underground and Nico
The Red-Headed Stranger Willie Nelson
Gas Food and Lodging Green On Red
Days of Wine and Roses Dream Syndicate
Live At The Matrix Velvet Underground

All very good choices and in my personal cd collection except the last one you named which I can't even mention because of my overall disdain for said band...😁 Are you sure about that one? Surely you're mistaken.

I agree that they might not fit in the collection but man - i love that band. I saw them life and had VIP tickets. It was awesome. I have all their albums. Songwriting is marvelous. I am sorry to destroy you with this

But i also love some older works from "Einstürzende Neubauten" so there are some extensions to both ends of that scale

None: Too much music everywhere I go . Every Starbucks , every coffee shop, restaurant, every store . I’d love to get some silence back to back but it almost never happens. Disclaimer : I’m over 60 and I’ve heard it all twice . I love this forum and iOS though and spend way more time here than I do on Spotify . I love music but I feel as if I’ve internalized it at this point . I lived through the very exciting times where most of what you’re hearing today was created . I was there.. Hendrix etc. I saw it all.
